5. Chapter 5

Hello!

I just want to first apologize for publishing a chapter that isn't actually a chapter but I have an important announcement. Well, maybe a bit of a sad announcement.

Lately - this last year - I've been feeling very unhappy. You all have been so sweet and supportive to me and I wanted to pay you back but I think that as I wrote more and more fanfiction, I got less and less happy with it. I was unhappy that nothing was mine. All of the world and the characters belonged to someone else even though I felt like I knew them so well. It made me feel... well, honestly it made me feel like a loser. I felt kind of lost in this world of wanting so badly to give you content but hating everything that I put onto the page.

So, that being said, I don't want to disappoint you or myself any longer. I'm going to try and write my own story - something that's all mine with all of my words and plot and characters. I don't know if I'll be coming back to any of these stories but I want you to know that I appreciate you guys so much - I wish I could have given you an ending that you deserved.

If you still want to read something from me, I'll be over on WattPad posting every Tuesday (hopefully) under the name mylovelylilacs. I really hope to see you there because... wow, I'm going to miss you guys and the stories that I created here.
